FOR DEVELOPERS & OPERATORS

Manage risk across asset
lifecycles, from due
diligence to in-service
and operations

Arbo helps developers and operators identify viable projects faster,
forecast cost and schedule with accuracy, and quantify regulatory
and legal risk before it impedes progress.

Arbo is trusted by strategy, commercial, project, and regulatory teams at leading pipeline companies.

Official filings and notices
obscure commercial intelligence

The regulatory domain is
overlooked by big info services
companies, do-anything
consultancies, and activity
reporting policy firms.

Environmental and EPC firms
lack access to comprehensive
project data and are
incentivized to encourage your
project.

Legal and regulatory teams are
stretched thin, without the
time or tools to structure and
analyze data.

FAQs

How will my team access and collaborate with Arbo?

ArboIQ subscribers can email, call, or schedule a virtual meeting to request a responsive analysis, discuss research findings, and consult subject matter experts about business challenges or information needs within Arbo data and expertise domains.

Throughout a decade of service to industry, we have experienced the best collaboration and greatest impact resulting from opportunities to connect in person. While the Arbonauts are a hybrid team based in Washington D.C., we travel frequently to Houston, Tulsa, and Calgary, and are physically or virtually “embedded” with customer teams for some Analytical Services engagements.

We’ll work with you to deliver intelligence in the format that suits your workflow — whether that’s a quick email, detailed report, slide deck with visualizations, excel file, or BI dashboard connected to our data warehouse.

Does Arbo advocate, represent, or lobby on behalf of customers?

While our data and viewpoints are used to influence many stakeholders, Arbo does not engage directly in advocacy or any political action activities.

Our company values integrity and candor and will present analysis and viewpoints sometimes contrary to those of our customers and stakeholders.

Arbo believes, to the maximum extent possible, data should drive decision-making and this is a core component of its value proposition.

How is Arbo differentiated from a law firm?

Arbo does not engage in providing legal services to clients. Our intelligence works alongside the guidance of law firms and often adds data, analytics and insights leading to higher confidence levels for decisions necessary to proactively navigate increasingly complex regulatory, policy, and market environments. Several leading law firms subscribe to Arbo intelligence and we often collaborate with our customers’ internal counsel.

How does Arbo handle confidentiality and material non-public information?

Arbo is committed to the confidentiality of any proprietary data uploaded inside its products or obtained via services engagements. The terms and conditions of confidentiality and non disclosure are documented and mutually agreed upon in all service and product license agreements.

Arbo takes the confidentiality of client information and the handling of material non-public information (MNPI) extremely seriously to protect our clients’ interests and the integrity of the markets we serve.

While our analytics and research are primarily built on public data sources, upon request we also work with proprietary datasets provided by our clients. We treat all client-owned data with the highest level of confidentiality, governed by strict non-disclosure agreements and robust internal controls.

Your proprietary information is never shared directly with other clients or used to corroborate the development of Arbo intelligence from official sources. Our team is trained to recognize and appropriately handle sensitive information, ensuring that MNPI is never released or used in compromising ways.

Does Arbo offer the same intelligence to pipelines and shippers?

Data and expertise from Arbo’s specialized domains are sought throughout the energy value chain for myriad use cases. We provide all customers access to objective intelligence, but each ArboIQ Analytical Services deliverable is uniquely tailored to client needs. We strictly safeguard confidential information and never compromise the trust or integrity of relationships with our clients or between counterparties.
